Abstract: A fundamental principle of responsible scientific research is replication. Replication provides independent verification of previously reported findings and improves our understanding of observed phenomena by removing researcher bias, strengthening existing evidence and questioning past conclusions. Replication is an essential component of the self-correcting nature of science but, for too long the scientific community has overlooked the benefits of replication due to its perceived lack of novelty. However, a shift in attitudes has been making its way through various scientific disciplines, with finance now having its turn. In this study we survey the authors of Pacific-Basin Finance Journal replication studies to explore their motivations, experiences and seek their feedback on the specific process utilized by the journal to undertake the important task of facilitating the publication of replications.
